Well, the 2015 Back to School special aired the day after Labor Day. That happens to be a day when many schools start, so this year's episode could very well be rescheduled around that time, and it would make sense.

At this point they might as well plop it on Labor Day (coincidentally 9/4 this year).

If I'm not mistaken, CBS has consistently done US Open coverage on Labor Day. So, as much as it makes sense for the show to air when many will potentially be watching a Serena-less draw tennis tournament takes the spot.

A trip to Texas does make sense if they're taking the preemptive stance. There's also the potential for a trip to Barcelona to be the cause. I suppose we'll find out whenever it airs.

Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted, besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?Alex Trebek: I'd have to say To Tell The Truth, because it was the first time in my career that I got sit down while I was hosting.

Not since 2015 - they have lost the rights and that allows the show to now be aired on Labor Day again. Don't know if that will be the rescheduled date, but they could air it the day before next season's actual premiere.
